  • Excavating Cartographic Encounters in Plantation Ireland Through GIS
    Mapping Worlds? Excavating Cartographic Encounters in Plantation Ireland through GIS Keith Lilley and Catherine Porter School of Geography, Archaeology and Palaeoecology Queen’s University Belfast ABSTRACT: This paper uses the analytical potential of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to explore processes of map production and circulation in early- seventeenth-century Ireland. The paper focuses on a group of historic maps attributed to Josias Bodley, which were commissioned in 1609 by the English Crown to assist in the Plantation of Ulster. Through GIS and digitizing map-features, and in particular by quantifying map-distortion, it is possible to examine how these maps were made, and by whom. Statistical analyses of spatial data derived from the GIS are shown to provide a methodological basis for “excavating” historical geographies of Plantation map-making. These techniques, when combined with contemporary written sources, reveal further insight on the “cartographic encounters” taking place between surveyors and map-makers working in Ireland in the early 1600s, opening up the “mapping worlds” which linked Ireland and Britain through the networks and embodied practices of Bodley and his map-makers. rom his lodging on the Strand in London in March 1610, Sir Thomas Ridgeway, the first earl of Londonderry, wrote a letter to the earl of Salisbury, Robert Cecil, then the lord treasurer Ffor England and the English Crown.1 Referring to maps “newly bound in six several books,” Ridgeway’s letter marked the end of a long enterprise, begun some eighteen months earlier, of surveying and mapping the Irish lands newly taken for plantation; the escheated counties of Ulster.

    Database of Irish Historical Statistics - Language Notes 1 Language Notes on Language (Barony) From the census of 1851 onwards information was sought on those who spoke Irish only and those bi-lingual. However the presentation of language data changes from one census to the next between 1851 and 1871 but thereafter remains the same (1871-1891).

IV., c 99. Their origins pre-date this act, they were used in the assessments of local taxation under the Grand Juries. Over time many were split into smaller units and a few were amalgamated. Townlands and parishes - smaller units - were detached from one barony and allocated to an adjoining one at vaious intervals. This the size of many baronines changed, albiet not substantially. Furthermore, reclamation of sea and loughs expanded the land mass of Ireland, consequently between 1851 and 1861 Ireland increased its size by 9,433 acres. The census Commissioners used Barony units for organising the census data from 1821 to 1891. These notes are to guide the user through these changes. From the census of 1871 to 1891 the number of subjects enumerated at this level decreased In addition, city and large town data are also included in many of the barony tables.

  • BCP Report 5, Part 8
    Subgroup P1: Other Oriel Subgroups Subgroup P1: Other Oriel Subgroups includes 25 BCP participants with eight surnames. A modal was constructed from the haplotype profiles represented by the surnames, and this was entered for a Ysearch search, with a genetic distance of six allowed (the maximum permitted) and requiring testing to the 67-marker level. There were 19 hits. One was the “Byrne Northeast” modal at a genetic distance (GD) of three. Three belonged to participants in the BCP and the other 15 were added as an augmentation. Another search was made with testing level lowered to the 37-marker level. There were 75 hits, including the “Byrne Northeast” modal at a GD of three and the other 18 hits above plus a modal called “Byrne III”, also at a GD of three. Consistent deviations from the SWAMH for the values at nine markers in the first 37 had been found among the 25 BCP participants, and no further consistent deviations in the first 37 marker values were seen in comparing the additional profiles with those of the BCP participants. Ten of the profiles in the Ysearch search were those of participants in the BCP. The remaining 45 were added to the augmentation. A search was then made of FTDNA surname projects. Matching profiles were found for 42 of the 63 non-modal, non-BCP Ysearch profiles. An additional 37 profiles were selected. All of the profiles selected for the augmentation were those found that displayed at least five of the nine consistent deviations in the first 37 markers. The profiles from the BCP display at least six of these nine consistent deviations.

  • Ireland Homeland
    Ireland Homeland Hopefully the day will arrive when some young, energetic, next generation genealogist travels to Ireland and uncovers documentation that might help us understand exactly where our Blackburn ancestors lived in or around Loughgall, Ireland. For now, we have to rely on stories about the region generally to understand how our ancestors lived and how that area shaped their lives. Quaker records clearly indicate that our Blackburns were from Loughgall in County Armagh, but at first blush that could be a very broad statement about their homeland. Loughgall is the name of a parish in County Armagh and within that parish there are more than 30 townlands and boroughs. Ireland is sub-divided in a very unique way. The island is divided into four provinces – Ulster, Munster, Connacht and Leinster. The provinces basically fall along boundaries of kingdoms that existed before the island was conquered by the Normans. [A fifth kingdom, Meath, was gradually merged through history into Leinster.] The county of Armagh is part of the province of Ulster. Ulster consists of nine counties in the northern part of Ireland. When the Irish Republic achieved independence in 1922, Ulster was divided up. Three counties with heavily Catholic majorities were ceded to Ireland. The remaining six counties became what is now commonly known as Northern Ireland, its Protestant majority deciding to align with the United Kingdom in 1922. Interestingly enough, 90 years later, the majority of the population in Northern Ireland is now, again, Catholic. Armagh remained part of that northern group of counties, together with counties Antrim, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone.
